NEW YORK — Ride-hailing giant Lyft is releasing financial details about the company in a federal filing before it begins selling its stock to the public.
The company said its revenue grew from $343.3 million in 2016 to $1.1 billion in 2017 and $2.2 billion in 2018, representing year-over-year growth rates of 209 percent and 103 percent respectively. Lyft has been in a race with competitor Uber to be first to offer its stock to the public. Uber is expected to file its own initial public offering later this year.
Together, the two could raise billions of dollars to fuel their expansions and offer the first chance to buy into the ride-hailing phenomenon.

What's the difference between lyft and Uber? When I accidentally left my glasses in an Uber, the driver noticed right away and brought them to me. With Lyft, the driver refused to bring them back for less than $80. That was the first and last time I chose Lyft.
Valerie Jarrett on board = Me being loyal Uber user

Everyone is using them to get to the Emergency Room so yeah, I'd think they're doing pretty well.

Taxing Uber and Lyft rides is L.A. County's latest idea to free up congested roadsMetro officials will vote Thursday on whether to study taxing Uber and Lyft rides that start in Los Angeles County. A 20-cent fee on each trip could bring in $401 million over a decade for transportation projects, while a $2.75 fee on such trips could raise $5.5 billion, according to Metro. Shouldn’t they tax the tech companies? Not the drivers performing the ride? There is no way the study referenced applies to Angelenos’ reasons for not taking public transit. No one would choose to walk or ride bikes anywhere except maybe the west side. Also, the drop in transit passengers is probably due to lack of efficient routes. Sham tax. Not another tax..geez! 🤦🏾♂️
